> You said you did not short common stock of AMZN. I am really confused here. Actually, I have shorted Amazon common stock before. But only a few times, and it was quite a while ago. To make it clear, when I am shorting internet stocks, I use options. UNLESS that stock doesnt have options, in which case I will short the common. But the rewards to be had from shorting the common are not as great as those possible with options, so I do it as a small percentage of my portfolio.
